Back home, we have a host of critics bemoaning EV subsidies while cruising down the National Highway System, which was built in the 1950s with 59 Billion Federal tax dollars. Adjusted for inflation that’s a half a $Trillion subsidy to the auto industry (using a curious defense angle). Further, Tesla dominance over every other electric car has created the false impression that the subsidies only benefit them. Ironically, the $10k the government gave me to buy a Volt represented nearly a third of the Chevy’s value, a huge motivator. With my Tesla, the subsidy came to about 10%, not such a significant influence.

The microgrid, which incorporates solar PV panels, a natural gas reciprocating engine and an advanced battery storage system, was installed earlier this year and provides clean, resilient energy for a facility on the 200-acre Shell Technology Center Houston (STCH) campus. Home to nearly 2,000 Shell scientists, technologists and engineers, the STCH is the largest of the three Shell technology hubs; the others are in Amsterdam and Bangalore.

WA’s regional utility Western Power has moved forward with off or edge-of-grid solar and storage deployment in WA.

Two of the industry’s biggest inverter players also locked horns this month when SolarEdge filed a lawsuit against Huawei, alleging that the latter’s residential inverters use an architecture, which violates its patents. Huawei said it was “evaluating the claims”, however it does not believe it infringed any valid patent rights.

“The battery is fantastic, a great project,” Lloyd says, facing out onto the brilliant green turf. It’s a chilly day, but his pride for the club’s efforts still radiates brighter than his jacket. “What it means is we can run our floodlights, our grow lights, and we can always make sure that when we’re using those big consumers, that we’re getting that at the best price.”

The company behind the floating solar photovoltaics projects is Sungrow Power Supply, a 22-year-old Chinese company that specializes in alternative energy hardware and services. Sungrow (CH:300274) trades on the Shenzhen stock exchange and claims to be the largest solar photovoltaic inverter manufacturer in China, with a North American subsidiary in Ontario. The company recently pushed into Japan, which first created the market and is reportedly home to the most floating solar power plants, though most aren’t much bigger than a koi pond. Electronics and ceramics manufacturer Kyocera (JP:6971) is considered the leader in floating solar farm systems in Japan.

Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk has dismissed hydrogen fuel cells as "mind-bogglingly stupid," and that is not the only negative thing he has had to say about the technology. He has called them "fool cells," a "load of rubbish," and told Tesla shareholders at an annual meeting years ago that "success is simply not possible."
